'''Mafurako''' (マフラ子, "muffler girl") is an NPC who can be found in [[Yume Nikki:Block World|Block World]]. She appears next to a house-like structure that serves as a one-way access from [[Yume Nikki:Windmill World|Windmill World]], which can be found by going west from the Nexus door to the long comb-like structure, then directly south.

'''Mafurako''' (also known as ''Hat and Scarf Girl'' by some fans) is an NPC who can be found in [[Yume Nikki:Block World|Block World]].

==Overview==
Initially, Mafurako appears to be invisible and only the hat and scarf she wears can be seen. By using the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Stoplight|Traffic Light]] effect, her true appearance is revealed to be a girl with dark brown hair covering her eyes, a blue sweater, purple pants, and black shoes.

Interacting with Mafurako will teleport both her and the player to one of five locations through Block World, all normally inaccessible due to being atop the world's blocks. One of the teleport locations has a black gate that leads to the [[Yume Nikki:White Desert A|White Desert A]].

It is possible that Mafurako represents [[Yume Nikki:Madotsuki|Madotsuki]]'s feelings of shyness. It is evident that Mafurako wants to be unseen, as even when she is visible her fringe covers her face. A fringe covering a character's eyes is also a common character design trait given to sensitive or shy characters in media. The fact that she becomes visible when the Stoplight is used may imply that she is consciously attempting to be invisible, and the Stoplight stops her from doing so.

Mafurako (マフラ子, "muffler girl") is an NPC who can be found in Block World. She appears next to a house-like structure that serves as a one-way access from Windmill World, which can be found by going west from the Nexus door to the long comb-like structure, then directly south.

Overview

Invisible (left) and under the Traffic Light (right)
Mafurako in the manga.

Initially, Mafurako appears to be invisible and only the hat and scarf she wears can be seen. By using the Traffic Light effect, her true appearance is revealed to be a girl with dark brown hair covering her eyes, a blue sweater, purple pants, and black shoes.

Interacting with Mafurako will teleport both her and the player to one of five locations through Block World, all normally inaccessible due to being atop the world's blocks. One of the teleport locations has a black gate that leads to the White Desert A.

When interacting with her again, she will once again cause herself and the player to teleport. Normally, the player will be teleported to one of five lower spots away from Mafurako. The return location is always dependent on which upper platform you were on. When this happens, she will return to her original location on the lower level and the player will have to seek her out again. However, if Madotsuki interacts with her as a snowman using the Hat and Scarf effect, Madotsuki will always return to her side on the return trip, shortening the process of finding her and the White Desert gate.

Trivia

The original sprites for a braidless Madotsuki wearing the Hat & Scarf effect.
  • Interestingly, Mafurako's sprites are located in Madotsuki's sprite sheet in the game's files. She is the only NPC with this distinction other than Madotsuki's Ghost. Her graphics replaced a version of Madotsuki wearing the hat and scarf without braids found in previous versions of the same sheet.
  • In versions 0.04 and 0.06, she was located in the Checkered Tile Path. Interacting with her there would still teleport Madotsuki to one of the teleport spots in Block World, although there were only three spots as opposed to five.
    • One of the spots Mafurako could teleport Madotsuki to in these versions was near a gate which housed the now-removed Toriningen's Bed event. This event was replaced by the White Desert in 0.07.
    • Strangely, Mafurako would not teleport alongside Madotsuki, meaning that the player would be forced to either wake up or use the Medamaude effect upon being teleported due to being isolated there. She was also unaffected by the Stoplight and Hat and Scarf snowman effects in this version. This persisted even when Mafurako was moved to Block World in 0.07. Her effect reactions as well as her teleporting alongside the player would not be finalized until 0.08.
